the maine love story

so i am clearly horribly behind on posting *anything* and everything. but i'm going to catch up! mark my words. let's start with this two part post about the wonderfully amazing state of maine + the amazingly perfect {snowball} wedding we attended there. 
 all of the wedding guests stayed on the same quaint, little road by the sea in pemaquid, maine.
 these photos were taken in our "front yard." what an absolutely perfect idea to stow away all of your guests in a row of shoreside cottages. {seriously. does it get any cuter?}
 every house we drove our rental car past was perfect. large or small, elaborate or simple... all of the new england-style architecture was to die for. 
 as the sun set on our first evening of festivities, we headed out to the bride + groom's favorite local, low key lobster establishment.
 we met new friends {hi laura, left} and reunited with old {hello bride, right}.
this, p.s., is where i learned that you need to be careful NOT to eat the lobster's poop.
 we spent downtime taking in the scenery.
 wading in the crisp, cool waters.
 and kayaking in our front yard.
 don't worry... i was sure to pack all of my seaside, preppy attire.
 at a little salty cafe in damariscotta, we watched this schooner {and the doodle in tow} head out to sea on a lazy sunday afternoon. i could seriously get used to this town.
 on the way back to freeport, we passed the famous red's eats... where we quickly learned there is always a line.
 beautiful lighthouses sum up the scene.
and rustic charm was around every corner. 
especially at the l.l. bean headquarters in freeport. 
tons of catalogue covers from rugged years past. 
 and duh... i clearly cannot leave the state without my picture with the giant boot. 
maine truly is vacationland. 
i dream of paying another visit to the peaceful, beautiful state {of mind}.
finally... wedding day was upon us! the future mrs. snowball is sporting her new duds as she gets ready for a most amazing wedding day!
